Our conveyor trestle designs are normally based on a two column lattice trestle structure providing vertical support only. We provide details of the member sizes for the columns, together with details of the stability bracing. We also provide the connection details for the bracing. For conveyors with more than a single trestle support, the design is for one trestle. We will automatically choose the critical trestle for our design so that the same details may be used for the other trestles if required.

We need the following information to design a conveyor trestle support:

maximum and minimum values for the dead, imposed and wind loadings on the trestle (if we have designed the conveyor, then we will automatically have the necessary information to design the trestle)
